Sandbox To Sky
When first we play in the park
into the sandbox we go
With shovel and pail we dig endlessly
passing the time as we grow
Our parents lift us into a swing
They help us point to the sky
Then gently bring us back down to earth
As we smile our way down the slide
Soon we're climbing the jungle gym
dealing with life's complexities
pausing to hide in chutes, on ladders
keenly aware that getting caught matters
